In this paper, we investigate the gravitational lensing effect and the shadow around a Schwarzschild-like black hole in metric-affine bumblebee gravity, which leads to the Lorentz symmetry breaking.

Roulettes: A weak lensing formalism for strong lensing - I. Overview [PDF]
We present a new perspective on gravitational lensing. We describe a new extension of the weak lensing formalism capable of describing strongly lensed images. By integrating the non-linear geodesic deviation equation, the amplification matrix of weak lensing is generalised to a sum over independent amplification tensors of increasing rank.

The View from the Top: Visual Intrusion as Nuisance in Fearn v Tate Gallery
In Fearn v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery the UK Supreme Court unanimously held that visual intrusions are in principle actionable under the tort of private nuisance. On the facts, a narrow 3:2 majority found that the Tate Modern was liable for the operation of its viewing gallery where the public could see into the claimants’ flats.

Angular Cross-Correlation of Galaxies: A Probe of Gravitational Lensing by Large-Scale Structure [PDF]
The angular cross-correlation between two galaxy samples separated in redshift is shown to be a useful measure of weak lensing by large-scale structure. Angular correlations in faint galaxies arise due to spatial clustering of the galaxies as well as gravitational lensing by dark matter along the line-of-sight.

Abstract Owing to their abundance and relative availability on Earth's seafloor, mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) have a well‐defined chemical element budget, reflected by the low standard deviation associated with typical normal MORB (N‐MORB) composition. However, the exact mechanisms leading to magma differentiation and MORB generation remain debated,

Lensing signals from Spin-2 perturbations [PDF]
We compute the angular power spectra of the E-type and B-type lensing potentials for gravitational waves from inflation and for tensor perturbations induced by scalar perturbations. We derive the tensor-lensed CMB power spectra for both cases. We also apply our formalism to determine the linear lensing potential for a Bianchi I spacetime with small ...

Primordial black holes from axion domain wall collapse
The QCD axion can solve the Strong CP Problem and be the dark matter of our universe. If the PQ symmetry breaking scale associated with the axion is below the inflationary reheating temperature, axion strings and domain walls populate the universe.

This research delves into the potential existence of traversable wormholes (WHs) within the framework of modified, curvature based gravity. The modification includes linear perturbations of the matter Lagrangian and the trace of the energy-momentum ...

The Effect of Weak Gravitational Lensing on the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy: Flat versus Open Universes [PDF]
We have studied the effect of gravitational lensing on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy in flat and open universes. We develop a formalism to calculate the changes on the radiation power spectrum induced by lensing in the Newtonian and synchronous-comoving gauges.

The complex theory of gravitational lensing: Beltrami equation and cluster lensing [PDF]
We introduce a new complex formalism to describe arclet fields in clusters of galaxies and derive the appropriate inversion techniques to find the related mass distribution of the lensing cluster. Applying the complex formalism to the statistics of lensed background sources shows that the mean of the axial ratios of locally lensed isotropically ...
